      This is the biggest fuckin thing! If I even suggest to family or coworkers that america shouldn’t be allowed to just bomb anyone across the planet at any fucking time deemed necessary, I am somehow the one without a head in my shoulders. That’s utopian or living in a dream world, or the powers that be obviously have a good reason because we wouldn’t just kill people

      But we do

        We only kill because we’re the good guys though. Those were good Christian bombs that were used. We had to kill them because they’re violent.

    I want to remind everyone that the Nicki Minaj gave a speech at the United Nations last month asking Trump to do military action in Nigeria.

        Many an intern in the administration have a fantasy about that. The Zionists prefer it that way too. But the hard material reality is Venezuela and their oil exports to China.

      there are plenty of opportunities in the news to make wry remarks about the DPRK, but this kind of disparagement is just out of blue. consider why you need to compare US imperial aggression on the other side of the world to the DPRK.

      IMO it’s better to criticize the US without implying it’s bad because it’s like the DPRK (or rather, the propaganda the US makes about the DPRK).

      It’s like the classic joke: Americans when America does a bad thing Americanly: “What are we? A bunch of ASIANS?!”

        True true, but its funny(?) that the MAGA worship and deification of trump more closely resembles western propaganda’s portrayal of how North Koreans feel about ‘dear leader’ than the reality of how DPRK citizens feel about the Kim family(not that they’re are a monolith in their opinions)

          Regardless, calling it “DPRUS” isn’t making a point about American propaganda, it’s just reifying it. The comment is indistinguishable from an average reddit liberal comment.

        it’s less criticism of the US’ actions themselves and more commentary on how trump speaks of himself and the country.

            hardly

            one can draw parallels between how the us behaves and how the us portrays others without agreeing or validating said portrayal. beyond that, though, I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility that the dprk is also a bit insane in how they speak about themselves, despite American propaganda likely making it seem even worse than it is.

            this is just a strange thing to get upset about tbh lmao

              So if someone here criticized the US by saying we have CCP uyghur concentration camps you wouldn’t see that as a validation of US propaganda? Gonna have to agree to disagree on that one.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
